00:00 Always is a tough, tough opponent.
00:08 The quality individually they have and their stadium, the character, the momentum, their
00:13 ability to be maybe on top and in 10-15 minutes, splash, splash, and they score goals.
00:20 So we know the quality they have, so no doubt about that.
00:23 Always have been, always will be.
00:25 We have to improve our football game in terms of mentality and I want to see how is our
00:32 mentality on Sunday in Old Trafford.
00:35 So we won a lot and it's not about, oh, we see the win now and what is going to happen.
00:46 We are back where we wanted to be.
00:49 This is a hard team to beat and they find a way to win.
00:55 So we are going in the right direction.
00:58 I think it's a match above many other derbies.
01:04 It's so huge because it's Manchester internal but I think it's also about world football
01:13 and all the eyes will be on this game, global-wide.
01:16 We are looking at the way they have played against all the top teams and how much they
01:21 have suffered to beat them, all of them.
01:23 Some of them scoring in the 100th minute, some others really scoring late goals and
01:28 being really tricky games.
01:30 So we expect the same.
01:31 They are fighting for their lives like we want to win every single game and it will
01:35 be a tricky game.
01:36 It's going to be a tough game because they are a very good team and they are doing very,
01:40 very well.
01:41 I think it's a very tough team to play again.
01:43 They used two different formations, sometimes you can play with 1-4-3-3 or 1-5-3-2.
01:49 We'll see, I think we were ready to face a team that is a very good team and good players.
01:58 Yes, it's a nice challenge for us tomorrow.
02:01 Zip is just doing a really good job, so we changed again, a lot of players are in.
02:08 I really hope, not for the game, but for the occasion that Divock Origi will be in the
02:14 squad, I hope he's fit, stuff like this, that the people can give him a little hello.
02:21 And I think it's clear for Nottingham, they want to stay in the league and then progress
02:24 from there.
02:25 That's what they are doing at the moment, in a super-tricky Premier League, they pick
02:29 their points and we know what we have to expect.
02:32 I can see why it's tough for Bournemouth, I can see why it's tough for us, but I think
02:37 all of us have got the same ambition, which is to get to that next level and make sure
02:44 that you establish yourself as a good, strong Premier League club.
02:49 But it goes in stages and at this moment in time I think we're probably in a similar battle,
02:56 in a similar situation, but it's the nature of this league.
03:02 We're in a good space at the moment, but again we've still got plenty of work to do to make
03:09 sure that what we do now is sustainable, because that's the main thing, it's not about just
03:15 making a short-term impact, it's about building something that hopefully brings sustained
03:22 opportunities of success for the club.
